What it does

We obsess over getting your emails to the inbox (so you don't have to). Start sending in minutes. Only pay for what you use.

On the surface, it seems simple. You send an email, the recipient receives it … or do they? The deeper you dig the more you realize it’s a complicated thing to do well. You probably didn’t get into building products to think about email. We did. Weird, but here we are. We’re a team of email nerds with years of experience in the industry who simply love building great tools. We are intentionally lean, independent by conviction, and focused on one thing: building a modern email API you’ll genuinely enjoy using (and that’s affordable, too). ‍ The email industry is full of giant corporations chasing revenue targets and startups eyeing their exit strategy.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
